The Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has assured that the upcoming December 7 elections will not disrupt the work of the Constitution Review Consultative Committee.
The Committee, established by the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, is tasked with gathering ideas on how best to review the 1992 Constitution.
Despite concerns raised by some about the timing of the Committee’s work, just three months ahead of a critical election, Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu emphasized that the electoral process will not interfere with the Committee’s efforts.
“I have heard people opine that in an election year, there is not much that can be done when it comes to constitutional amendment. With the greatest respect, I beg to differ. All the amendments to the 1992 Republican Constitution happened in 1996.
“After the election in November and December, all the amendments happened in 1996, after the presidential and general elections. So I believe that we will not be stopped by time to do the consultation we intend to continue.”
